During 2008, almost 70,000 tons of trash were collected at the Convenience Centers for transfer to the Cerro Colorado Landfill. Eagle Rock Convenience Center also functions as an additional drop-off site for recyclables, to complement the city's curbside recycling program. See more information on recycling. Don Reservoir and Montessa Park Convenience Centers do not accept recyclables at this time.

The convenience centers are provided for residents and small commercial haulers only. Refer to the Cerro Colorado Landfill for information on commercial trash disposal.
